Necessity is the mother of invention. Practice what you preach. Join the
wolf, polar bear, raven, and many more as they learn (and teach!) many
of life's invaluable lessons in this arctic retelling of the classic
Aesop's Fables. A ringed seal discovers that the truth can be a powerful
friend; an Arctic Ground Squirrel learn to be careful what she wishes
for; and the porcupine knows that slow and steady wins the race. With
beautiful illustrations by Alaskan painter Jim Fowler, the twelve fables
here are uniquely set in the landscape of the Alaskan wilderness.
